Guestbook comments from the owner

Thank you! Our group of 12 fit so comfortably in the BEAUTIFUL Tall Spruce House! The kids were delighted to have an instant sledding hill & the adults felt relaxed among the many cozy rooms. The hot tub was a hit as several of us chilled out in it before retreating to our slumber spots! Thank you for such an awesome family vacation!

Perfect place for large groups

Wanted to express our great appreciation for the wonderful accommodations provided by Tall Spruce House during our stay December 31, 2012 - January 5, 2013. All 22 members of our immediate family - arriving from four different states - descended on a Monday and stayed through Saturday. Our large group of children had a ball sledding down the gentle slope in the snow-covered front yard. Cousins got to know one another, our children caught up on all the latest news, and we all shared fun times in this large, spacious house! It is clean and neat. We had all the necessities available to us in the various bedrooms and bathrooms. As family members took turns preparing meals for our large group, we found that we were well supplied with dishes, pots and pans, spices, appliances - everything we needed was at our fingertips.

Lisa is conscientious in providing for her guests. She has suggested interesting things to do in Durango. She met us as we arrived, told us to call her if we needed anything, and even left us some cookies and a tin of gourmet nuts along with a few instructions on the kitchen table. We would highly recommend the Tall Spruce House as a very special place for you and your family to spend quality time.

What a great family get away

My family has been coming to Colorado hunting for the last 28 years. Although we have stayed many different places we have returned to "Tall Spruce House" for the last 14 years. You might call it our home away from home. The home is centrally located to everything we enjoy with many conveniences walking distance away. If I could recommend any improvement to the property it would be to have the Tall Spruce tree lower branches trimmed up so that you could enjoy the amazing view from more areas of the home. Lisa is a great host and never fails to make us feel welcome.

Great big family house

We've stayed at this house 5 years ago and we're back for more, this time for some beautiful Fall Colorado color! The doors and windows were open all the time letting in the lovey breezes and sunshine. Everyone from the Grandparents to the grand babies had a great week away in this huge house that held us so well. The apple tree in the front yard was a big hit and the fruit was delicious! We made a home made apple pie! Thanks Lisa for another great experience.

Cozy and welcoming

The front lawn was like a green blanket. The house was perfectly equipped for a large family from meals to games this house had it all. We had a small wedding in the front yard and a bigger wedding down the road. I guess you could say the house was full of love. Lisa was very attentive to our every need and was a delight to work with. She helped us make our wedding trip to Durango better than I could have imagined. Thanks for sharing your home.

Summer Vacation at Tall Spruce

Our family group of 24 really enjoyed staying at Tall Spruce! The house was ready when we arrived and the very few questions that we had were answered and taken care of immediately by the owner (thank you, Lisa!). We are already looking for a time when we can return to the wonderful Durango area and have recommended the area and the specific property to our friends. Loved Durango and just wished we could have stayed another couple of days. There were so many things to do and to see!
